THE WIFE OF A RUSSIAN PRIEST.

There is only one happy woman in
Russia-the priests wife-and it is q
common mode of expression to say
as happy as priests wife The
reason why she is so happy is be-
cause her husbands position depends
upon her. If she dies he is disposed
and becomes mere layman, and his
property is taken away from him and
distributed, halt to his children and
half to his government. This dread
hl contingency makes the Russian
priest careful to get healthy wife if
he can, and makes him take extraor-
binary good care of her after he has
sacured her. He waits upon her in
the most abject way. She must new
er get her feet wet, and she is petted
and put in hot blankets If she has 80
much as cold in her head. 1t is the
greatest possible good fortune for
girl to marry a priest-infnitely bet
ter than to be the wife of a nobleman.

GOOD INVESTMENTS.

! The Columbus Enquirer says that
this is an age of simpletons. Men
are blinded to their own interest and
retard the work which they desire to
hasten. Men who own property in
cities and desire the value of it en-
HANGED, are unwilling to lend aid to
any public enterprise that viii help
the city. Some do this through ig-
norance, and some through purely
selfish motives. This is intended for
the former class. Whatever is bene-
fetal to that town, and thereby bene-
hts the owners of that property.
Then to build the town should be
their main object And to do this
we must study the wants of the town:
not how we may do without what is
needed, but how we may best obtain it.
This is generally done by what is
called donations or contributions,
but are in reality investments. A
man contributing money to public
enterprise is really investing the
same, and it will be returned to him
as advanced price OF the property he
owns. Many consider that the mon
ely is given away, and avoid those
soliciting it as they would the deadly
upas, when, if they were to consider
1t in its true sense, that of an invest
ment, they would be glad OF the OPP
portunity to ''lend helping hand"
Again, talk up the town. Tell its
resources, its advantages, and it's bus
mess. Fill visitors and strangers
with admiration for the place and it |
will be "bread cast upon the waters,
to be gathered many days hence"
Support nome institutions. Other
things being equal, always give the
preference to your own city. Your
city paper is your representative to
the outside world, and it behooves
- 49, shat it receives your
! Mozlsy saSpport and that of your
frintabors. Newspapers make towns.

Often the town. is judged by IT'S pa
per, and the live people Will by their
support, send out a sheet of which
they will not be ashamed.

A WICKED CITY.

New York is very much delighted
at discovering that it is not so yerv
bad after all, and by no means the
worst city in the country. 1t bases
this claim on an interesting statisti-
cal report on crimes in twenty-five
of leading American towns, obtained
from full police returns. These sat-
tlstlcs were prepared by q Chicago
gentleman from the police returns
OF crimes committed during the year
1886. According to his table Rich
mond is the most moral and virtuous
towp in the country, only 70 per
cent or one person in 125 being ar
rested by the police tor crime. In
Brooklyn the arrests vert As per
cent of the population, in st. Louis
o.3, in New York 60, in Boston ana
New Orleans rs, and in Washington
l1.2.
Inc national capitol is decidedly
the worst IN the whole lot. No 9TH
er American town approximates it
IN crime. One out of every eight
persons, that is, member oil every
other family, is locked up in jail-a
very bad record. To what extent
this is due to the presence OF congress
md the horde of Office holders it is
no easy matter to say, but it is a fact
"ell-known to all soeiologists that
,rlme fiourishes most in all capitols.
This may account for Sam Small To-
Eating in Washington City. There
s more material to work upon than
elsewhere.

SLOWLY ROASTED TO DEATH.

At Webberville, Mich, Dec. LIST,
the cry of "6re !" aroused the people
shortly before midnight, and they
rushed from their homes to find the
town lookup in flames, II was one
story wooden structure standing
alone in an open square: Above the
cracking of the flames cries were
heard from an inmate of one of the
cells. When the citizens arrived the
doomed man. was seen trantioally
beating the bars of his cell and cry
ing for help The people were pow
erless to help him, and in the pres-
euce of the crowd he was slowly roast
ed to death Same of the crowd
made Intellectual attempts to rescue
him, but were driven away by the
heat. The pale face and glazing eyes
OF the miserable wretch were framed
BY the black, unyielding bars of his
cell door. Little by little he was
forced back, but only when the bars
became red Aet did he abandon all
hope OF escape.
The horror Of the situation proved
such y trlgAtful mental strain on the
prisoner that he became insane.
Tearing his scorched clothing of.
he dashed himself against the bars
and grabbed the red,hot ironsan the
vain effort 70 escape. An odor Of
burned flesh peryaded the air and
made many Of the people sick. Fran
tioally cursing the crowd for not,
helping him, the roasting man rush
ed madly around the narrow inclos-
ure while the spectators stood rooted
by horror to the spot. Gradually
his cries grew weaker and he was
seen to sink to the floor, and soon all
was over.
The prisoner was Newhall Tyler,
thirty-eight years old. lie had been
jailed for striking boz on the head.
Tyler had been on spree, and the
boy had annoyed him. lie fired the
prison, hoping that he would be re-
leased thereby.

The influence which a good man

The marble ledge, which is the finest
in America, will also be operated by
large forces, and our coal fields, w.iich
contain both anthracite and coking
coal in large quantities, and equal to
that Of Pennsylvania in quality, will
also give employment to thousands
more; while along our valleys ranch
men will produce large quantities Of
the necessities Of life. This is all GER
tain to come about with the advance
ment of railroads which are pushing in
to these parts. The great emigration
and boom throughout the west is cer-
:ain to benefit us; the field for invest
ment in this section has not yet been
fully brought before the public, and it
will take energy and capital to devel-
ope our resom ces. But as these parts
become better known we may expect
to sec our population increase; new
towns will spring up around US and
those who have invested their time and
money in opening up our resources are
certain to receive their just re ward. We
have one of the healthiest climates un-
der the sun, with springs of hot wa
ter that are certain to draw thousands
seeking a place to restore their health,
numbers of whom will become residents
and seek profitable investments along
with the other capitalists that will
come among us.
